Abstract

This wide spread of electronic games and increase of hours that children spend in practicing them have made these games enter the educational field powerfully. Several studies have been conducted and emphasized that electronic games have many positive impacts (19: 106), but the extensive use of them for long hours a day lead to health and physical problems such as obesity, osteoporosis, spinal deformities, pain in the hands, and poor motor and fitness (23 : 14), (45 : 15).
